Hey furloughed fed friends,
Stop feeling GUILTY. It’s not your fault the work isn’t getting done. You didn’t ask to be at home or warming an office chair. This colossal waste is not your fault. Don’t feel bad for someone else’s mistakes.
Unplug if you can. Rest. Take care of yourselves 💚🫂

This is especially a problem for places like Wyoming with vast amounts of land served by small rural hospitals.
Let’s be very clear: even if you are not a Medicaid recipient, cuts to the program will impact you.
Without Medicaid funds, rural hospitals, maternity wards, and nursing homes will be shuttered.
Having private health insurance won’t do you much good when there’s nowhere to go.

ICE No! Water Yes!
Bring a water bottle with a squirt top in case you need to rinse out your eyes or someone else’s when tear gas or pepper spray have been deployed. Bring more water for drinking and sharing with those around you!
Water is life. ICE is injustice.
Abolish ICE. Share water. 💦

This passage from @benjamincarterhett.bsky.social's book on Hitler's rise to power has long haunted me for the way it describes how so many ordinary Germans had their minds & souls gradually rewired by the changing political climate of the 1930s. Watching something similar happen here is terrifying.

Go to this thread. Email these folks to let them know how you feel about their work separating children from their families, arresting babies, deporting green card holders with no criminal history, etc. Let them know this isn’t even remotely acceptable, that they can and should refuse their orders.

This right here. Spreading "perfect victim" or "innocence" narratives is dangerous and cedes ground on the fact that *all* people deserve dignity, humane treatment, and access to due process. Feeding into perfect victim or innocence narratives isn't just irresponsible messaging, it is copaganda.
It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

The contempt they have for disabled children is born of a wider disgust of and hate for disability more broadly.
For literal decades, they have made it clear that they believe disabled people should be out of sight out of mind. Look at their whining about ASL interpreters, attacks on the ADA.
